[RE-wrenches] Squirrel/leaf guard for solar array

[David Brearley]

Hi Carl,

Check out the sidebar by Stephen Kane in this article for info on a couple "squirrel guard" product suppliers:

I do think that the same system can serve both purposes. Once the screen is in place it should be self-evident when the debris builds up and needs to be cleaned. When it's under the array, it's out of sight, out of mind and potentially a problem. 

Best, David

No evidence of squirrels at this point, but I know there has been discussion of protective fencing around arrays to prevent squirrels moving in and I wonder if the same system might keep the leaf debri from building up under the array.  Do any of you have suggestions for materials and methods to do this.  A link to photos of installed projects would be appreciated.
